Product details
Overview
AT34C02-10TI-1.8 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 2 Kbit (256 × 8) I²C-compatible serial EEPROM with permanent software write protection for the first 1K bits and hardware write protection via the WP pin. It operates from 1.8 V to 5.5 V, supports 100 kHz I²C communication at 1.8 V, features 16-byte page writes, and delivers 1 million write cycles with 100-year data retention - ideal for industrial sensor calibration storage and embedded configuration memory.
For engineers reviewing the AT34C02-10TI-1.8 datasheet, AT34C02-10TI-1.8 pinout, AT34C02-10TI-1.8 application, or AT34C02-10TI-1.8 equivalent, key selection considerations include its 1.8 V minimum supply, dual-mode write protection (software + hardware), TSSOP-8 packaging, 100 kHz I²C timing at low voltage, and automotive-grade temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AT34C02-10TI-1.8 implements a two-wire (I²C) serial interface with Schmitt-triggered, noise-filtered SDA and SCL inputs. Its internal architecture includes an 8-bit address counter, Y/X decoders, serial control logic, and high-voltage pump/timing circuitry for EEPROM write operations.
Write protection is implemented in two independent layers: a one-time-programmable software lock for addresses 00H–7FH (enabled via 0110 control byte with WP = GND/floating), and hardware-level array-wide protection activated by pulling WP = VCC. Both mechanisms disable writes while permitting reads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2048 bits (256 words × 8 bits), organized as 16 pages of 16 bytes each - enables efficient page-write firmware updates without full-array erase. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.8 V to 5.5 V - supports direct interfacing with 1.8 V logic systems and mixed-voltage microcontrollers without level shifters. |
| I²C Clock Frequency | 100 kHz max at 1.8 V - ensures reliable communication in ultra-low-power battery-operated devices. |
| Write Cycle Time | 5 ms maximum - defines minimum interval between successive write commands; critical for real-time logging latency budgeting. |
| Endurance | 1 million write cycles - guarantees long-term reliability in field-updatable parameter storage (e.g., metering, calibration, settings). |
| Data Retention | 100 years at +25°C - ensures nonvolatile data integrity over product lifetime without refresh. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood applications requiring extended thermal stability. |
Pinout & Package
AT34C02-10TI-1.8 is housed in an 8-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, lead-free and halogen-free compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A2 | Device Address Inputs | Hard-wired inputs enabling up to eight AT34C02 devices on a single I²C bus; A2:A1:A0 define unique 3-bit slave address suffix. |
| SDA | Serial Data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line for I²C data transfer; requires external pull-up; supports wire-OR with other open-drain devices. |
| SCL | Serial Clock Input | Positive-edge clock input for data sampling; negative-edge clock output; synchronizes all read/write transactions. |
| WP | Hardware Write Protect | Active-high enable for full-array write lock; when tied to VCC, blocks all writes regardless of software protection state. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary supply rail (1.8 V–5.5 V); powers internal logic, EEPROM array, and high-voltage pump during write cycles. |
| GND | Ground Reference | System ground return path; required for stable operation and noise immunity of internal analog circuits. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Permanent Software Write Protection | Irreversible lock for first 1K bits (00H–7FH) via 0110 control byte - prevents accidental or malicious corruption of critical boot parameters. |
| Hardware Write Protection | Full-array lock enabled by WP = VCC - provides system-level security independent of firmware state or power cycling. |
| Low-Voltage Operation | Guaranteed 100 kHz I²C functionality down to 1.8 V - eliminates need for voltage translators in modern ultra-low-power SoC designs. |
| 16-Byte Page Write | Reduces write overhead by up to 16× vs. byte-write mode - accelerates bulk configuration saves (e.g., sensor offset tables, network keys). |
| Noise-Suppressed Inputs | Schmitt-trigger + filtering on SDA/SCL - rejects >100 ns glitches, enabling robust operation in electrically noisy industrial environments. |
Applications
| Industrial Sensor Calibration | Smart Meter Configuration Storage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| M95M02-RDW6TP/K | 2 Mbit SPI interface, 2.5–5.5 V supply, no software write protection, 5 ms write cycle | Requires SPI host interface and separate level-shifting for 1.8 V systems; lacks dual-layer protection | Select when higher density and SPI-native host architecture outweigh loss of I²C compatibility and write-protection granularity. |
| 24AA02E48-I/MS | 2 Kbit I²C, 1.8–5.5 V, integrated EUI-48 MAC address, no software write protect, 5 ms write cycle | Includes factory-programmed unique ID; hardware WP only; not certified for automotive temp range | Prefer for networking devices needing IEEE MAC address; avoid where permanent first-half software lock is mandatory. |
Compared with M95M02-RDW6TP/K and 24AA02E48-I/MS, the AT34C02-10TI-1.8 uniquely combines 1.8 V I²C operation, irreversible software write protection for half the array, and automotive-grade temperature qualification - making it optimal for safety-critical industrial and automotive parameter storage where layered data integrity is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating voltage for AT34C02-10TI-1.8?
The AT34C02-10TI-1.8 is rated for operation from 1.8 V to 5.5 V. Its guaranteed 100 kHz I²C timing and full functionality-including write operations-are specified at 1.8 V, making it compatible with modern ultra-low-power microcontrollers and SoCs without level translation.
Does AT34C02-10TI-1.8 support page writes, and what is the page size?
Yes, the AT34C02-10TI-1.8 supports 16-byte page writes. The 2 Kbit memory is internally organized into 16 pages of 16 bytes each. This allows up to 16 sequential bytes to be written in a single I²C transaction, significantly reducing write overhead compared to byte-wise programming.
How does the software write protection work on AT34C02-10TI-1.8?
The AT34C02-10TI-1.8 implements permanent software write protection for addresses 00H–7FH (first 1K bits). It is enabled by sending a special 0110 control byte with WP = GND or floating. Once programmed, this protection cannot be reversed-even after power cycling-and prevents writes to that region while allowing full read access.
What package type is used for AT34C02-10TI-1.8?
The AT34C02-10TI-1.8 uses an 8-lead Thin Shrink Small Outline Package (TSSOP), designated as 8A2 per Microchip's ordering nomenclature. It measures 3.0 mm × 4.4 mm with 0.65 mm lead pitch and is lead-free and halogen-free compliant.
Can AT34C02-10TI-1.8 operate in automotive temperature ranges?
The AT34C02-10TI-1.8 is specified for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), not extended automotive (–40°C to +125°C). For automotive-grade operation, Microchip offers the AT34C02N-10SE-1.8 variant, which is explicitly qualified to –40°C to +125°C and carries the "E" suffix in the ordering code.
